Tarō Kabakura serves as a project manager at a video game company, working alongside Hirotaka Nifuji and Narumi Momose. He sports spiky orange hair and brown eyes, his stern expression often intimidating colleagues despite his fundamentally reliable and genuine nature. Professionally serious and optimistic, he balances his career with fervent otaku passions for bishoujo anime, hero-themed media, and gaming, though he sometimes downplays these interests. His personal life centers on his enduring relationship with Hanako Koyanagi, beginning in high school when both were volleyball team captains. Their story started as rivals clashing over gym court access, evolving into mutual affection. Neither recalls who confessed first at graduation. Their dynamic features frequent public arguments contrasted by private tenderness; Kabakura notably blushes or reacts with annoyance to Hanako's yaoi-related activities. Significant milestones mark his journey: Kabakura and Hanako marry in Volume 9, Chapter 65.3, resulting in her taking his surname. Later, in Chapter 86, he reacts to news of her pregnancy with tearful joy, immediately embracing her. Future illustrations depict him sharing anime and otaku hobbies with their daughter. Kabakura exhibits strong protective instincts, particularly a fatherly concern for Narumi Momose. He becomes visibly agitated when she interacts with other men like Naoya Nifuji, describing her as "cute" and comparing her to his preferred petite characters like Ranka Lee. While acknowledging her professional ineptitude, he values her positivity. His friendship with Hirotaka involves shared gaming and workplace camaraderie, though he remains wary of Hirotaka's closeness with Hanako. At home, he wears his hair down, contrasting his work style. His otaku pursuits include collecting merchandise like a limited-edition Akari Akaza Nendoroid and citing Kyouko Otonashi as his earliest fictional crush, indicating a past preference for older women. His nickname "Bakakura" derives from rearranging the syllables of his surname.
